HOW TO INSTALL PAGE 13
STARTING THE AIR CONDITIONER

Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the best possible results.
This section explains how to operate this air conditioner.
IMPORTANT:
- When you turn off the air conditioner, either at the control panel or with the remote control, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the compressor from overloading. This 3 minute delay also applies when switching from cool mode to fan and back.
Note: There is a built in 3 minute delay. You may notice the compressor might not start right away. This was designed to protect the unit.
- Do not operate your air conditioner in the Cool mode when the outside temperature is below 61^ (16°C). The inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.
Note:
COOL MIN: To reduce cooling capacity, point air directional louvers up.
COOL MAX: To maximize cooling capacity, point air directional louvers down.
